So Leska loves eating his dry cat biscuits, and he was probably eating more than he should and we were just filling up his bowl whenever it was empty. I thought I have to find something to make him work for his food! So I did a bit of research and found the Catit Senses Food Maze. Basically you put the dry food in the top and your cat has to reach in on the different levels to pull his food out or push it down the levels to the bottom. I found some good reviews online - basically the consensus was that if your cat loves food and likes playing games they will enjoy it. However there are some flaws in the design such as the open top and that it can be knocked over.
I bought the food maze from Pet Barn who have this to say about the product -
Catit Design Senses Food Maze allow the cat to eat from the food tray after they move food or treats through the maze by pawing through side openings. Challenge your cat's abilities by rotating the adjustable disk to decrease the opening for higher levels of difficulty. It also features a accu-pressure mat around the maze providing your cat with pressure point paw massage.
I thought (for some reason) that my cat was quite smart, and that he would figure the thing out in about 10 minutes. But no, it actually took him about a WEEK to understand what to do. I had to keep showing him how to get his food out. Anyway, now he loves it. I had to put a dish over the top otherwise he would eat his food straight out of the top. And he has knocked it over once. Overall he is eating less - anything that requires any kind of effort will slow a lazy house cat down! 5 stars.
